Oh I didn't imply that I think the game is too easy or easier than before. I gladly admit that newer boss encounters for example are much more complex and difficult. When I talk about power creep I mean that there was a point in time when 10k DPS on a main skill was top tier, compared to the millions nowadays where one obliterates entire screens in a single click. Surely monster health has increased a bit alongside with it, but not to the same extent, and I think that fact alone is enough to demonstrate that PoE has simply become a completely different game -- for better or worse. Clearly a lot of people like the modern iterations too, and that's fine.
